18 Claims, 8 Drawing Figures PATENTED 3 869 9T9 sum 2 9f 2 BACKGROUND OFTHE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to refusecompactors, and in particular to receptacle structures for use therein.

2. Description of the Prior Art In one excellent form of refusecompactor presently commercially available, refuse is compacted in adrawer-type receptacle which is selectively moved into a cabinet portionof the compactor to a compacting position wherein a ram compacts refusepreviously deposited in the drawer. Refuse is placed in the drawer bywithdrawing the drawer from the cabinet to expose the upwardly openingdrawer receptacle.

To facilitate disposal of the compacted refuse, it is conventional toline the receptacle with a suitable bag permitting the compacted refuseto be removed as bagged refuse for facilitated disposal. It has beenfound, however, that it is difficult at times to remove such baggedcompacted refuse from the conventional receptacle because of adhesion ofthe bag to the confronting surfaces of the receptacle. This adhesionproblem is aggravated by coagulation or drying of liquids introducedbetween the bag and the receptacle walls, such as liquid which may leakfrom the bag when the bag is inadvertently torn or otherwise ruptured inthe compacting operation. Further, it is desirable to minimize thefrequency of removal of the bagged refuse for disposal and, thus, it, isdesirable to compact a substantial amount of refuse in the bag beforerequiring disposal from the receptacle. This presents the furtherproblem of relatively substantial weight making it difficult for someusers, such as relatively weak housewives, to effect removal of thebagged refuse by lifting it from the receptacle.

Still further, it is desirable at times to clean the interior of thereceptacle and it has been found that because of the relatively deepconstruction thereof, difficulty is had in completely cleaning andsanitizing the conventional receptacle.

An excellent solution to this problem is that shown in U.S. Pat. No.3,613,566 of Lloyd P. Shapleigh, Jr., et al., and owned by the assigneehereof. As disclosed in said patent, the receptacle includes a movableside wall permitting the user to remove the compacted bagged refuse by afacilitated lateral movement with the side wall extending laterally fromthe remainder of the receptacle in the bag removing position. The sidewall is selectively latched in an upright position in the receptacle inthe compacting arrangement. Detent means may be provided for providing aselective stop in the pivotal movement of the side wall. The arrangementof the side wall in the laterally angled position further permitsfacilitated cleaning of the drawer as desired. The side wall is hingedto the drawer by a suitable hinge, such as a piano hinge.

Another form of refuse compactor is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,741,107 ofJohn A. Boyd et al. In said patent, a dolly assembly is mounted in thecompactor to define a portion of the compaction chamber. A plurality ofwheels are connected to the dolly assembly and a handle frame isremovably mounted to the front panel thereof.

In Australian Pat. No. 163,630 of Henry Hallifield Oxley, published Nov.19, I953, a baling machine is disclosed having a side wall generallysimilar to the side wall of the Boyd et a] patent in defining a wheeleddolly. The side wall is wheeled into association with the balercompacting receptacle and is cammed into retained association by awedge-shaped cam and latch at the lower end of the dolly. The dolly isnot pivotally mounted to the baler receptacle and requires swinging ofthe dolly on the dolly wheels to raise the dolly upwardly from thecamming latch structure to disassemble'the enclosure.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention comprehends an improvedrefuse compactor receptacle structure adapted to support a refuseholding bag in a refuse receiving arrangement, have deposited refusecompacted therein, and be manually rearranged to permit facilitatedremoval of the bagged, compacted refuse therefrom, the receptaclestructure including first wall means defining a closure for the openside and inwardly projecting portions including a bottom wall andpartial side walls nested with the first wall means for partiallyenclosing the bag, freely separable pivot means pivotally connecting thesecond wall means to the first wall means for pivoting of the secondwall means outwardly from the nested arrangement, means for selectivelylimiting the pivoting of the second wall means outwardly to an accessposition wherein the bagged refuse is freed from said first wall meansand is readily accessible for separation from the second wall means, andretaining means arranged to maintain the pivotal connection of thesecond wall means to the first wall means in the nested arrangement andaccess position while permitting separation of the second wall meansfrom the first wall means, upon movement of the second wall means to aseparation position beyond the access position and raising the secondwall means from the separation position upwardly relative to the firstwall means.

The pivot means comprises a wall on the receptacle closure cooperatingwith an upwardly extending support on the enclosure. The retaining meansillustratively comprise interlock means preventing upward movement ofthe horizontal wall away from the support in the nested and accesspositions. In the illustrated embodiment, the pivot and retaining meanscomprise a U- shaped bracket on the closure and a slotted support on thefirst wall means.

The closure may be lifted free on the first wall means by suitablemanipulation thereofin the separation position. To facilitate suchseparation, a suitable lever may be utilized, and in the illustratedembodiment, a wheeled lever is disclosed which may be utilized both toeffect the desired separation and to permit facilitated transport of thebagged refuse carried in the closure portion of the receptacle.

Thus, the refuse compactor receptacle structure of the present inventionis extremely simple and economical of construction while yet providingthe highly desirable features discussed above.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT In the exemplary embodiment ofthe invention as disclosed in the drawings, a refuse compactor generallydesignated 10 is shown to include a drawer-type receptacle generallydesignated 11 movably carried by a cabinet 12 for selective dispositionwithin the cabinet in a refuse compacting position (not shown) andforwardly of the cabinet (as shown in FIG. 1) in a refuse depositingposition.

As best seen in FIG. 2, receptacle 11 includes a first wall means 13defining an enclosure having an open side 14. The enclosure furtherincludes a second wall means which defines a closure for the open side14 of first wall means 13 and cooperates with first wall means 13 indefining a compacting receptacle with the second wall means 15 nested-inthe first wall means, as shown in FIG. 1.

More specifically, first wall means 13 includes a bottom wall 16, afront wall 17, a rear wall 18, a left side wall 19, and a righthand baseportion at the bottom of the open side wall 14. Second side wall 15includes a righthand closure wall 21, a partial front wall 22, a partialrear wall 23, and a bottom wall 24. A ribbed reinforcing plate isprovided on the closure wall 21. Latch means 26 and 27 are furtherprovided thereon for cooperation with suitable cooperating catch means28 and 29 on the first wall means 13 for selectively securing the secondwall means 15 in the nested compacting arrangement, as shown in FIG. 1.The latch means 26 and 27 are simultaneously operated by rotation ofahandle 27a through the use of an interconnecting movable rod 26a.

The present invention comprehends an improved means for pivotallymounting the second wall means 15 to the first wall means 13. Morespecifically, as shown in FIGS. 2-4, the pivot means generallydesignated 20 herein comprises a horizontal wall 31 carried by theclosure wall 21 and an upright wall 32 carried by the base portion 20 ofthe first wall means 13. The wall 31 comprises an upper leg portion of aU-section bracket generally designated 33 havingits bight portion 34secured to the closure wall 21. A retaining means including a pair ofinturned tab leg portions 35 projecting outwardly from closure wall 21parallel to top leg 31 and a slot 36 defined by the first wall meansbase portion 20 for selectively receiving the tabs 35, as shown in FIG.3, prevent upward movement of the second wall means 15 from bottom wall16 of the first wall means when the second wall means is in the nestedposition of FIG. 1 relative to the first wall means.

Further, cooperating pivot limiting means including a rod member 37 anda slot 38 for receiving the member 37 are provided and interconnectedwith latch means 27 and 29 for limiting the pivotal movement of thesecond wall means outwardly from the nested position to an accessposition shown in full lines in FIG. 4. To swing the second wall meansto the access position, the user merely releases the latch means 26 and27 by an initial rotation of handle 27a and swings the second wall meanson the pivot defined by the bracket portions 31 and 34 and upright wall32. The pivot limiting means effectively comprises a spring biased rodmember 37 which acts in slot 38 to effectively prevent overshoot in thepivotal movement of the receptacle structure. Thus, in normal use, thebagged refuse may be lifted from the receptacle for disposal as desired,the bagged refuse illustratively designated 39, having been broken freefrom the first side wall means 13 by the swinging action ofthe secondwall means, and in particular, by the upward thrust of the bagged refuseeffected by the bottom wall 24 of the second wall means.

As discussed above, the present invention further comprehends anarrangement of the enclosure 11 permitting separation of the second wallmeans 15 from the first wall means 13, when desired. For this purpose.further rotation of handle 27a disengages the latch means 37 from theslot 38 permitting thelatch to be released and the second wall means tobe swung beyond the access position shown in full lines in FIG. 4, to aseparation position shown in broken lines wherein the retaining tabs 35are fully withdrawn from the slots 36 permitting the second wall meanscarrying the bagged refuse to be lifted upwardly to clear the uprightwall 32 and thus permit lateral withdrawal of the second wall means fromthe receptacle.

Illustrated in FIGS. 7 and 8 is an alternate embodiment of the hingestructure wherein two downwardly projecting open ended protrusions 131and two upwardly projecting open ended protrusions are formed in therighthand closure wall 21 to respectively perform the pivoting andretaining functions of leg 31 and tabs 35. The protrusions 131 havehorizontal surfaces 132 which cooperate with upright wall 32-to providea pivot point when the second wall means 15 is swung to the accessposition. The protrusions 135 have horizontal surfaces 134 whichcooperate with slots 36 to prevent upward movement of the second wallmeans when the second wall means is in the nested position of FIG. 1 orthe access position of FIG. 4. The protrusions 135 are fully withdrawnfrom the slots 36 upon further swinging movement of the second wallmeans 15 to the separation position such that the second wall means 15may be completely withdrawn from the first wall means.

While the second wall means 15 carrying the bagged refuse 39 may bemanually lifted from the first wall means in the separation position ofFIG. 6, it has been found desirable to provide a lever means generallydesignated 40 for facilitating the upward lifting of the second wallmeans and bagged refuse. Further as shown in FIGS. 46, the lever means40 may be provided at one end with suitable wheels 41 so as to servefurther as a wheeled transport means with control of the movement of thetransport means being effected by means of a handle 42 at the upperend-of the lever. The lever may include a plurality of L-shaped brackets43 and 44 on its mid-portion engaging the ribbed reinforcing plate 25for facilitating retention of the second wall means on the wheeleddolly-forming lever. As best seen in FIG. 4, the upper brackets 44 mayinclude turned portions 45 received in suitable openings 46 in thereinforcing plate 25 to releasably interlock the lever and second wallmeans 15.

At the lower end of the mid-portion 47, the lever is turned to definedownwardly extending legs 48 carrying the wheels 41 and permittingsuitable engagement of the brackets 43 and 44 with the reinforcing plateto initiate the separation of the second wall means from the first wallmeans, as shown in FIG. 4. Upon disposal of the bagged refuse 39, thesecond wall means may be returned to the receptacle 11 and reinstalledin pivotal association with the first wall means 13 by a reverseswinging of the second wall means from the dotted line position of FIG.4 to the full line position thereof, and thence back to the nestedarrangement of FIG. 1 with the second wall means again pivoting on thewall portion 32 in swinging to the final nested position. In the finalnested position, the tabs 35 again interlock with the base by receptionin the slots 36 as illustrated in FIG. 3.

During the separation of the second wall means from the first wallmeans, facilitated maintenance, such as cleaning and sanitizing thereof,may be effected as a result of the improved accessibility to theinterior of the receptacle portions. The pivoting and retainingstructures are extremely simple and economical and provide long,trouble-free life while yet affording the highly desirable controlledseparability of the receptacle portions. The receptacle structurepermits the use ofa simple lever means for facilitated separation andfurther, the use of a simple wheeled lever means to provide a dolly-typefacilitated transport of the compacted refuse for facilitated disposal.The disassembly and assembly of the receptacle portions may be effectedwithout the use of tools and the improved accessability and facilitateddisposal may be effected by manual separation of the housing portions aswell as by the use of the wheeled dolly-type lever structure discussedabove.
